Sorry, perhaps I was not really very clear. Wilko is right - I was asking the FreeBSD equivalent. Actually I was tying to install Gentoo/Alpha on a different HDD on the same AS1000A machine. But unfortunately Gentoo cannot auto-detects during the installation, hence needs to be a manual configuration. I was not sure about the module to use, so I booted back into FreeBSD to get the actual module name for the card. With FreeBSD the card is working fine. Hope it's clear now. Many thanks to all of you.
